Bolivia says "adios!" to Coca-Cola!

And they also are officializing their rejection of US capitalist hegemony... for the End of the Mayan Calendar!

In a symbolic rejection of US capitalism, Bolivia announced it will expel the Coca-Cola Company from the country at the end of the Mayan calendar.
This will mark the end of capitalism and usher in a new era of equality, the Bolivian govt says. “December 21 of 2012 will be the end of egoism and
division. December 21 should be the end of Coca-Cola,” Bolivian foreign minister David Choquehuanca decreed, with bombast worthy of a viral
marketing campaign. The coming ‘end’ of the Mayan lunar calendar on December 21 of this year has sparked widespread doomsaying of an impending
apocalypse. But Choquehuanca argued differently, claiming it will be the end of days for capitalism, not the planet. “The planets will align for
the first time in 26,000 years and this is the end of capitalism and the beginning of communitarianism,” said Choquehuanca as quoted by Venezuelan
newspaper El Periodiquito. The minister encouraged the people of Bolivia to drink Mocochinche, a peach-flavored soft drink, as an alternative to
Coca-Cola. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez followed suit, encouraging his country to ditch the American beverage for fruit juice produced in
Venezuela. ­

McFailure

Last year, Bolivia became the second Latin American country not to have a single McDonald’s. The fast food giant finally gave up on Bolivia after
being unable to turn a profit in the country for over a decade.

Following this failure, the monolithic multinational released a documentary titled ‘Why McDonald’s failed in Bolivia.’ Referencing surveys,
sociologists, nutritionists and historians, the company came to the conclusion it was not their food that was the issue, but a culturally driven
boycott.

Bolivian President Evo Morales has a reputation for controversial policies similar to the Coca-Cola ban. Morales pledged last month to legalize the
consumption of coca leaves, one of the main ingredients of coc aine.

“Neither the US nor capitalist countries have a good reason to maintain the ban on coca leaf consumption,” said Morales.

The coca leaf was declared an illegal narcotic by the UN in 1961, along with coc aine, opium and morphine. The consumption of coca leaves is a
centuries-old tradition in Bolivia, strongly rooted in the beliefs of various indigenous groups.

But at the natural state Coca leaves are actually good and non-toxic. I know that people in the mountains chew these as medication against the
altitude sickness.

The reason behind its addictiveness is the high fructose corn syrup that they put in sugary beverages. They have the nerve to call that poison
"sugar," lol. In any case, most sugars are more addictive than heroin, which surprises most people. Try removing sugar from your diet, you'll see
what I mean.

I have seen documentaries where these indigenous peoples have their jaws (both jaws) packed
so full of coca leafs they look like squirrels saving up for winter, lol. They make old-time
Texas cowboys with wads of tobacco look like wussies

And it's true that originally Coca-Cola contained coc aine......ahhhh, the good old days

Coca-Cola refuses to confirm whether or not their secret formula includes coca extract. The soft-drink's ban in Bolivia comes at a time when the
country is pledging to legalize the consumption of coca leaves, which are notoriously processed clandestinely into coc aine. The coca leaves
were declared an illegal narcotic by the UN in 1961, along with coc aine, opium and morphine, in spite of its consumption being a centuries-old
tradition there and strongly rooted in the beliefs of various indigenous groups. The sales of coca leaf are big business in Bolivia, accounting for
2% of the country’s GDP, or approximately $270 million annually, and representing 14% of all agricultural sales. The coca is legally sold in
wholesale markets in some Bolivian cities including a coc aine bar in La Paz.

Bolivia is fickle. Every couple of years they change their entire government. I don't mean just the politicians .. I mean their entire
government. And right now they have an anti-American government. They go back and forth. Wait a few years and McDonalds will be back ... it's just
how Bolivia operates.

Leave it to liberals to believe the 2012-delusion of the Mayan child-sacrificers and get rid of their economic motors and biggest employers as well.
Just another left-wing country that has become an impoverished dump.

This guy, right here, is very right.

I live in this Bolivian #hole. That's how we work. Kick Morales out of the government (damn, I don't know of any recent presidents that left the
precidency with no problems, but that's another story for another thread), and Bolivia will suddenly get rid of these so-called "socialitic ideas".
People here are that stupid - they say they are something when they have no idea of what that something is.

As for kicking Coca-Cola out, that's not going to happen. Ever. We love that # and we pay for it in a routine day.
